District 3 & 5 Call for Presentations

Meet Me in St. Louis

2023 DISTRICT 3 & 5 CONFERENCE
Oct. 4-6, 2023
St. Charles, Missouri

With the joint District 3 and District 5 Conference, we are truly supporting this fall’s theme of “Meet Me in St Louis”  as we learn from industry experts, special speakers, and each other. Given this expanded format with both districts, we will be running two sessions at a time instead of only having one session. This will allow us to deliver even more programming to our NCMPR members.

SHARE WHAT YOU KNOW – BE A PRESENTER!

More sessions also mean more opportunities for presenters. THAT MEANS YOU! Hearing from our marketing counterparts is one of the highlights of the conference. We’d love for you to tell us about your innovative ideas, new discoveries, success stories, lessons learned, and projects that went well (or not so well). According to previous conference surveys, topics of interest include:

• Doing more with less
• Leveraging YouTube
• Incorporating data into decision making and planning
• Emerging social media platforms
• Best practices for SnapChat
• Strategies for increasing your marketing ROI
• Ideas and trends for engaging high school and nontraditional students
• Marketing automation
• Videography for beginners
• Maintaining creativity when you’re feeling burnt out
• Marketing's role in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives
• Advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion within a culture of resistance
• Advertising timing tips to get the most bang for your marketing buck
• Marketing through effective storytelling
• Crisis communication
• Sustaining communication during a pandemic
• Media relations tips and on-camera interview prep
• Effective digital writing 
• What AI means for marketers

What new ideas do you have? This is your opportunity to share how your community or technical college shines!
